captncrunch Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 sorry i haven't got a macro lens for my new camera Link to comment
jenniebutterfly Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 it is a button polyp i have some just like it, it is not anything harmful. Link to comment
captncrunch Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 it just behaves a little differently than my others but i guess its because it IS different, thanks Link to comment
jenniebutterfly Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 here is a pic of one of mine, mine is just different colored, yes they do behave a bit differently with the tentacles, but that is a polyp. Link to comment
jenniebutterfly Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 does yours do alternating tentacles up and down too? Link to comment
captncrunch Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 yeah they do the up/down alternating tentacles, they also re open a lot quicker than the others. I think you're right. Link to comment
SaltyDawg Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Jen: it is not a button polyp. look closer at the tenticles. They are round and pointed. I am gonna say young aptasia. I shouldnt have said is isnt a button polyp as I may be wrong , But I realy dont think it is. Also who ever said aptasia has tenticle in the center also was wrong. Link to comment
jenniebutterfly Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 looks just like mine though saltydawg, i still say polyp, but mine are round nd pointed too, and i know they are button polyps. but can we agree to disagree Link to comment
captncrunch Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 so far between here and reefcentral, I got two votes polyp 3 votes aiptasia Link to comment
